Default need some advice

ok so ive been looking all around the internet and havent come up with much of anything, what ive been looking for is a f150 like my body style, i have a 91, but any ways im looking for one that is a good looking street machine. ive been thinking about selling my truck but when i didnt come up with any results on the net i decided to make mine street worthy... so far i have a custom marroon and black two tone paint job, i took of the metal mirrors and put some on that look like from a 94 and up, a roll pan, painted front bumper a djm lowering kit and some gunner 5 wheels, the motor is a bored over 302 from ford racing with a trickflow cam, heads pacesetter headers and full flowmaster exhaust, and some other small things. but my question is what else should i do whether performance or asthetics? i want to know from other 8th and 9th gen fans... ill try and post pics up soon, but in the mean time i need more ideas.. thanks

My brother likes to do up the interior of his cars because that's what YOU have to look at all the time when driving. A good sound system is always a plus.

here are some pics, theres alot of dust from sitting around but she'll shine up real nice, normally there a piece of clear plexi glass over the sub section.
